I’ve been looking for suitable music for my game and wanted to share what I’ve found…
SoundImage.org
Sound image is a collection of game-worth music all written by one guy named Eric Matyas. Pretty impressive. His music is free as long as you give him credit.
Below are a few pieces I might consider using.
80’s SPACE GAME LOOP – Might be nice in a space shooter game or app. (00:34)
INSERT QUARTER – Vaguely in the mode of 80s arcade games. (00:32)
COOL ADVENTURE INTRO – Might be fun under titles/menus for an upbeat game. (00:34)
GOBLIN LOOP – might be fun in an RPG or some kind of fantasy game. (00:28)
incompetech.com
Imcompetech.com has a nice variety of music that could be used in a game or video.
“Killers” Instruments: Guitar, Choir, Percussion, Basses, Cellos, Violas, Violins Feel: Action, Epic, Intense
“Take a Chance” Instruments: French Horn, Trombone, Strings, Xylophone, Percussion, Flute, Clarinet Feel: Action, Driving, Epic, Intense, Uplifting
“Full On” Instruments: Cellos, French Horns, Trombones, Violins, Percussion, Basses Feel: Action, Aggressive, Dark, Driving, Epic, Intense
Lots of little sections ending with soaring horns. Who doesn’t like that?
